I would love to post a new reply thank you
OKAY The thing you guys have all been waiting to hear IS>>>>>>
That I still want to do this! PLUS~ When I finally get around to it, I have 10 times the talent that I had even 1 year ago (which means... about the last time I actually checked this board)
THE BAD NEWS. I'm the intrepid father who's trying to graduate and work a full time job to keep my wife and kid fed and I'm kinda REALLY busy!!!
I don't wanna be that guy. Well... I DO
But I don't like to abandon things that I want to do.
I WANT TO DO THIS CLOUD THING FOR YOU GUYS But life is hard man!
I pull about 2 all nighters a week.
<off topic>And for those of you who've read my inane ramblings about how dramatic my life is... IT GOT WORSE!!!! Last January some serious life changing bullmoore happened that threatened my sanity and family. TWO separate and equally soul crushing things happened within 2 days. I can't talk about it obviously... Let's just say the damage is pretty permanent, and a man I used to respect will be in jail for the rest of his life, a family member of mine will need counseling... And a person I love very much will never speak to me again... But no more elaboration is needed. I live in a soap opera is what I'm trying to say</off topic>ANYWAYS! You can't keep a good dog down, and I'm still kicking!
All the work on this page that you've seen so far...? Scrapped!
But no worries. I can pump this guy out in a week with the talent I've accrued (Which involved working at Sony Online Entertainment for 3 months) And with my new fangled ZBrush skills, he'll be pretty and accurate and retopo'd with a nice clean simple mesh. I'll even bake out a normals and spec map for you people with the Aali's custom driver.
I'll take screenshots to track my progress and explain what I'm doing in each step, it could be used as a how-to of sorts for those that are interested in learning these skills. (Time tracking is VERY important in the video game field! GET USED TO TRACKING YOUR TIME if you want to be a part of that kind of work!!!)
AAAAAAAAAAND... FUDGE IT!
I'll go ahead and rerelease my old APZ Cloud Model with a brand new painted face so no one can complain! (Hey, it's better than waiting for my life to slow down again right!?)
I'll post about it later in the week after my finals on Tuesday... I'll quickly repaint the face (with that shiggity one I still have half completed on a layer in the photoshop file) And make the post so you people can finally be happy about it being back
--(Why didn't I do this earlier? Cause I really wanted to make a Cloud that blew it out of the water! But after FOUR ALMOST FIVE YEARS people are STILL emailing me about my APZ Cloud... THAT MEANS SOMETHING!!! That means people loved it more than most big budget summer movies! Granted it's not my intellectual property... but folks loved my work ferociously regardless)
